Two Wisconsin natives on a show set in New York City in the 1950s — Tony Shalhoub and Rachel Brosnahan — were both nominated for Emmys Thursday for their work on the Amazon series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."

Brosnahan, who was born in Milwaukee and grew up in the Chicago area, was nominated for best lead actress in a comedy series. Shalhoub, a Green Bay native, was nominated for supporting actor in a comedy series.

Both have taken home showbiz hardware already in 2018: Brosnahan won a Golden Globe for "Mrs. Maisel" in January, and Shalhoub won a Tony last month for his performance in the musical "The Band's Visit."

Brosnahan was nominated for an Emmy in 2015, for guest actress in a drama series for her memorable turn as Rachel Posner on Netflix's "House of Cards." Shalhoub was nominated eight times, and won three Emmys, as the obsessive-compulsive detective on the comedy series "Monk."

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" was among the leading shows Emmy nomination-wise, with 14 in all, including best comedy series. HBO's "Game of Thrones," with 22 nominations, and "Westworld," with 21, led the pack. "Atlanta," airing on FX, had the most nominations for a comedy, with 16.

Other Emmy nominees with Wisconsin ties announced Thursday included:

Judith Light, a player with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater early in her career, was nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie for "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story."

"Rick and Morty," the not-for-younger-kids Adult Swim series that lists Milwaukee native Dan Harmon among its creators, was nominated for best animated program.

"Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond — Featuring a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton," a look inside Jim Carrey's creative processes in playing Andy Kaufman, was nominated for outstanding documentary or nonfiction special. Chris Smith, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee film grad (the made-in-Milwaukee documentary "American Movie"), directed and shares in the nomination as a producer on the movie.

One Emmy regular with a Wisconsin connection was not among Thursday's nominees. "Modern Family," the ABC sitcom created by University of Wisconsin-Madison alum Steve Levitan, was all but shut out, collecting a sole nomination for sound mixing. The series had been nominated for best comedy series each of the past eight years, and won three times, along with a slew of acting awards and nominations.
